The purchase price for the Merger is $100 million (subject to adjustments for net working capital, cash, debt and transaction expenses, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement). The Merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions (as described below).

directly relate to any historical fact or pattern. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the use of words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ significantly from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, and reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. Certain factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (our “Form 10-K”) under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements (unaudited)” in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as our Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

Our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price can be materially and adversely affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including, but not limited to, those described below. Any one or more of such factors, some of which are outside of our control, could directly or indirectly cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from our past or anticipated future financial condition or operating results.

Our pending acquisition of Practice Fusion is subject to material risks and uncertainties.

There can be no assurance as to when, or if, we will complete our pending acquisition of Practice Fusion, as the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the conditions described in Item 1.01 of this report.

If we complete our pending acquisition of Practice Fusion, the success of such acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to achieve the expected benefits of the acquisition and to integrate our existing businesses with Practice Fusion’s business, including the integration of products and technologies. This integration will be complex, costly and time-consuming and will involve numerous risks, including, but not limited to, unanticipated expenses and the diversion of financial, managerial, and other resources from both our existing operations and those of Practice Fusion. If we fail to successfully integrate Practice Fusion’s business, we may not be able to achieve projected results or support the amount of consideration paid for Practice Fusion, which could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, in March 2017 Practice Fusion received a request for documents and information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont pursuant to a civil investigative demand (CID). The CID relates to the certification of Practice Fusion’s software under the U.S. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s electronic health record certification program, and related business practices We understand that it is Practice Fusion’s practice to respond to such matters in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner. If we complete our pending acquisition of Practice Fusion and the CID leads to a claim or legal proceeding against Practice Fusion that results in the imposition of damages, non-monetary relief, significant compliance, litigation or settlement costs, or any other losses, such damages, relief, costs or losses could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Allscripts to acquire Practice Fusion business

Transaction significantly expands Allscripts client reach in U.S. physician practices and combined scale of clinical data and tools will help bring life-changing therapies to market sooner

CHICAGO, January 8, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allscripts (NASDAQ:MDRX), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Practice Fusion, for $100 million in cash, subject to adjustment for working capital and net debt.

Practice Fusion is a Silicon Valley pioneer in partnering with top-tier life sciences organizations to drive innovation. In combination with Allscripts existing payer and life sciences business, Allscripts expects to expand its big data insights and analytics, data sharing technologies, and clinical trial solutions to enable life sciences organizations to accelerate bringing life-changing therapies to market. Practice Fusion offers an affordable certified cloud-based EHR for traditionally hard-to-reach small, independent physician practices. Privately held Practice Fusion, founded in 2005 and based in San Francisco, supports 30,000 ambulatory practices and 5 million patient visits a month.

This strategic acquisition is expected to further advance Allscripts’ strategy to offer the most comprehensive, high performing health information technology and solutions. Practice Fusion’s EHR will complement and round out Allscripts existing ambulatory clinical portfolio, providing a value offering and “last mile” reach to the under-served clinicians in small and individual practices.

“By adding Practice Fusion offerings to our portfolio, Allscripts will be further positioned for continued growth and long-term leadership in healthcare,” said Allscripts President Rick Poulton. “Combined with Practice Fusion, we expect Allscripts to continue to drive innovation in addressing gaps-in-care, improving clinical outcomes and real-world-evidence research. Plus, Practice Fusion’s affordable EHR technology supports traditionally hard-to-reach independent physician practices, and its cloud-based infrastructure aligns with Allscripts forward vision for solution delivery.”

Poulton continued, “We believe this transaction will directly benefit Practice Fusion clients, who will now have access to Allscripts solutions and services. We look forward to welcoming Practice Fusion team members to our family. Allscripts highest priority remains to successfully meet healthcare providers’ highly complex needs as we enable them to lead the change to smarter care.”

Transaction Summary

This transaction is targeted to close in the first quarter of calendar 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under U.S. antitrust laws.

Allscripts intends to fund the purchase price through its existing secured credit facilities and cash balances.

Additional details of the acquisition are available in a Form 8-K to be filed by Allscripts with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
